I'm having a hard time finding a middle name that perfectly complements Rosaleen. Any suggestions? I was thinking of Rosaleen Corinna (a throwback to both Mangan and Ovid). Also, what do you think of Rosaleen?

I really love Rosaleen. It's just perfect looking. Rosaline's too much like vasaline for me, and so a -leen she must be for me. :)

Rosaleen Corinna is entirely too many syllables for me--well, not exactly. I don't mind names with six syllables, but I prefer it if the lots-of-syllables aren't about even between the two names. Makes the combo feel longer to me, and I don't like combos that feel long. :) It'd be fine for someone else's child, though.

Rosaleen Dove comes to mind first, but I think that has to do with my thought process going towards Roisin Dubh, lol. Might be a bit too subtle-Ireland-tribute for you. ;) Hmmm...I'll think on other combo ideas.

Rosaleen Dove looks so perfect, a little reminiscent of Róisín Dubh, but that's ok. :)

What do you think of Rosaleen Wren? I'd like something very soft to go with Rosaleen...

I'm throwing around Rosaleen Yael and Rosaleen Shiri ('my song') in my head at the moment. Two of my guilty pleasures are Rosaleen Poet and Rosaleen Sonnet. :D

Ooh, Rosaleen is gorgeous. I slightly prefer the spelling Rosaline, but either way, I think it's great.

Rosaleen Corinna is pretty; I think Corinna Rosaleen would sound nice as well.
Some others:
Rosaleen Ocean
Rosaleen Georgia
Rosaleen Iris
Rosaleen Cara / Kara
Rosaleen Marta / Martha
Rosaleen Charlotte
Rosaleen Adele / Adelle
Rosaleen Therese / Theresa / Teresa
Rosaleen Virginia

Rosaleen Cara is definitely sweet as honey and Rosaleen Georgia is reminiscent of mint juleps, iced tea and dainty Southern belles with their drawls.

I like Rosaleen Charlotte, too.

Thanks!

Personally, I love the name Rosaleen! It's very beautiful, and a much nicer variant of the overused Rose.

Corinna would be a lovely mn to go with Rosaleen, btw.

Thank you! I'm glad to know that you love Rosaleen. To me, it's poetic along the line of Ligeia and Annabel.
